With the increasing popularity of cell phones comes many adverse effects not only on a social level but also on our health. Many of us can't imagine a day without our cell phone but by Are we losing the ability to communicate face to face? How tragic it is to hear bout accidents caused by talking and texting while driving. We are easily convinced that we need new phones with new features but neglect the fact that the old phones that we dispose of can harm our environment greatly. Cell phones have many negative influences and hidden dangers. Over the years as cell phones have become a major part of our society they have presented major physical and psychological dangers. Due to Phone bulling or " cyber bulling" there have been many reported suicides.< In the year 2000 a 15 year old girl committed suicide after receiving many anonymous calls.> This is just one many examples of phone bullying. < In a poll taken in 2006 by and organization called Fight Crime: it was found that nearly 1/3 of all teens and every sixth preteen had been a victim of cyber bullying.> Another misuse of cell phones among teenagers is the violent trend none as " happy slapping". Happy slapping is when kids record violent acts and send it to other kids. It originated in London. The first attacks were minor and were perceived as harmless fun. The videos were circulated on the web and the level of violence increased and in some cases the attacks ended in death. Cell phones have become smaller and the power to invade ones privacy has gotten greater. Instead of cameras on cell phones being used to capture fun memories they are being used to violate people's privacy. Voyeurism has become a perverse trend among teenagers. It's not to hard to feign to be texting on a phone while taking a picture of a person that doesn't suspect it. The tragedy is that these pictures eventually end up on the web and cannot be...

...that people use to make a task easier. A cellphone is a type of technology that is a common thing to see in everyday life. The world and the people in it have gotten used to this technology.

As useful as cellphones may be, there arenegativeeffects in over using cellphones.
Cellphone technology was first developed in the 1980’s, but cellphones became common in the early 1990’s (Firestone 24). As time progressed so did the cell phone’s technology. Cellphones became digital in the early 1990’s; making them more affordable and small enough to comfortably carry anywhere (Firestone 24). A few years later the cellphone underwent another change.

“Do CellPhones Help or Hinder Society?”
Times have changed tremendously in the last twenty five years in regards to how the world communicates with each other. The birth of new technology such as cellphones with internet capability, laptop computers, and even the recently released I-Pad has made communication with anyone outside of talking distance immediately accessible. Even though to many people this seems like a movement in the right direction for the future of the world, there are still people who hold firm on the idea that communicating with people face to face is much better for society. Teenagers today use cellphones much more than any other age group, but they are not the only ones affected; parents and even young children have become wrapped up in mobile connectivity. Cellphone companies understand this and in an effort to make more money, they put out new hardware such as newer, more stylish cellphones and software such as internet, text messaging, and applications that can hold anyone’s attention for long periods of time. For the working class mothers and fathers, a call from the boss on a Saturday afternoon to come into work is never far away from possible. Each of these things causes problems in society that were less noticeable in past years, whereas the addiction to cellphones...

Title
How often do we see some people in society now a days on their phones? Whether this be to someone checking their Facebook or just messaging their friends to let them know where they are. How often could you witness to how they could cause accidents such as not paying attention when crossing the road, crime such as the increase in phones being stolen, or car accidents in the split second in which one is looking down at theirphone rather than paying attention to what is on the road? If we were living in the time periods before the 90s, then we would be living in a generation in which no one would have come close to guessing that cellphones would be a vital source in living in these modern times. Who would have guessed that cellphones would start a massive epidemic to control the minds of the young generation? Who would have guessed that cellphones would be a major impact on how relationships are formed, destroyed, and kept together? Who would have guessed that these convenient devices would, figuratively, rise up and control the entire universe? The answer to these questions goes back to the simple fact the many have dreamed about the flying cars, the holograms, and the in-space neighborhoods, but not one would have dreamed, or even guessed, about the revolution of cellular devices.

The Effects that CellPhones have on Society
Introduction
In the United States of America, there are over one hundred million cellphone users. This number is growing at an astonishing rate of more than sixty thousand people per day. (Cellular Telephones) Thirty percent of all Americans have joined the mobile-phone revolution. A decade ago, cellphone usage in the United States was a rarity. (Raloff) The most common domestic appliance that Americans use every day is the cellphone, and we deserve the right to know the effects that this appliance is having on us. There are also many risks associated with cellphone usage. We must outweigh the risks and benefits for ourselves to decide if using cellphones is really worth it. Unless the risks of usage of cellphones outweighs the benefits, we should educate people on how to manage their usage of cellphones or use a different mean of communication.

...What is a cellphone?
Small wireless device that has at least the same functions of a standard wired telephone but is smaller and more mobile. A cellphone requires a subscription to a service provider and requires either a prepaid or monthly billing setup. Generally, they have more functions than traditional land lines and need to be charged after a period of time. Also called mobile phone or mobile device.—BusinessDictionary.com
A mobilephone (also known as a cellular phone, cellphone and a hand phone) is a device that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link while moving around a wide geographic area. It does so by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network. By contrast, a cordless telephone is used only within the short range of a single, private base station.—Wikipedia
A portable telephone that uses wireless cellular technology to send and receive phone signals. This technology works by dividing the Earth into small regions called cells. Within each cell the wireless telephone signal goes over its assigned bandwidth to a cell tower, which relays the signal to a telephone switching network, connecting the user to the desired party.—Dictionary.com

Cellphones in school should they be or should they not be allowed? Are they a distraction, and if they are, can we turn this problem around and utilize this technology towards positive results in a classroom setting. Can teachers utilize the cellphone in a classroom to their advantage? “This may sound like a good suggestion to have one in school, but allowingcellphones in school is not a good idea” (Should). . Where can schools draw the line as to when a student uses their cellphone, better yet can they? (Shortypants808).
Among administrators, teachers, students and parents there is much deliberation on whether cellphones should be allowed in school. This topic has been hashed and re-hashed for many years. Opinions’ on this matter vary greatly. Are they or are they not disruptive in a classroom? Then there is the issue of safety, and bullying via text messages, whether it is thru the messages that are sent or possibly “sexting” between students (Shortypants808).
In this age of technological advantages, cellphones are in the hands of almost all of the students entering school from the age of 12 and up, and in some cases even younger (Shortypants808). Socially it is becoming almost impossible for a teenager to be without a...
